If you notice, all the defence media around the world have now been quoting BDmilitary in their news about Bangladesh which means they are quite a credible source on such matters.

True, BDmilitary is quite an elite military club.They don't allow any hedgy-pedgy gossip monger into that site.It is quite difficult to get membership there and it is impossible to post any bogus news and survive there.Overwhelming number of the members there are military men who knows the inner news which non military news sources learn a lot later.

Apart from the news itself, I do not think bdmilitary.com belongs to or is a spokesman for the Bangladesh Military Forces. It is a discussion forum and is supposed to be same as PDF, but has sources in the military officers.

That Ukrainian Kozak-2m 4×4 armoured vehicle is possibly a butch-ified clone (Upgraded bullet-proofing and mine-proofing mod) of the Russian GAZ 'Tigr' (Tiger) Humvee (See below). I'm curious whether we ordered the version with KORNET ATGM fitted on the roof...this one below is of course a remotely controlled small-calibre turret.
